Congress says will transfer Rs 2.5K to a/cs of women in election-bound Bihar
PATNA: The Congress on Wednesday promised to transfer Rs 2,500 into womens bank accounts each month under Mai Behan Maan Yojana if the INDIA bloc was elected to power in Bihar in the forthcoming Assembly election. The partys womens cell national president, Alka Lamba, and state chief Rajesh Kumar said the scheme would provide financial assistance to women from all sections of society. The decision to apprise people about Mai Behan Maan Yojna was approved by the Coordination Committee of the INDIA bloc, Rajesh Kumar told the media. He said the grand old party workers have been asked to inform people of the partys promise if they are voted to power. The relationship between two major allies of the opposition INDIA bloc in Bihar, the RJD and the Congress, has generated interest ever since the grand old party started shedding old inhibitions and asserting itself, taking its ally off guard. The dole for women is part of the Congress new strategy. Lamba said her party will ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach every woman in Bihar.Congress recently released a poster about the dole. RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav had announced to launch Mai Behan Maan Yojana in December last year itself, promising to credit a similar amount of money per month in the bank accounts of women if his party formed the next government in the state. Now, Lamba claims the same thing: Mai Behan Maan Yojna will cover women from all castes and all sections of society. Although women are considered a strong vote bank of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumars JD (U), all parties are trying to increase their support base among these caste-neutral voters. Move part of Congress plan The dole for women is part of the Congress new strategy. Lamba said her party will ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach every woman in Bihar.

On late Tuesday night, the police team located the criminals in Kodopur (Ramnagar) following which SOG in-charge Manish Mishra, Ramnagar Inspector Raju Singh, and Inspector Bhelupur Gopal Ji Kushwaha started the combing. When the police raided the location, the criminals, started firing indiscriminately on the police party. In retaliation, the cops injured three criminals and arrested six, while one managed to escape taking the advantage of darkness. While the injured criminals were sent to the hospital, a search was still on across the district to arrest the absconding miscreant. Meanwhile, during the encounter with criminals, the cops recovered weapons from them. During initial questioning, the arrested accused admitted to their crime confessing that they had been planning a theft for several days.

PATNA: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is gearing up to contest the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, scheduled for October-November this year. The party has announced its intention to field candidates in all 243 assembly constituencies. AAP joint secretary Manoranjan Singh announced this during his mass contact programme under the Taraiya assembly constituency in Saran district. Singh said that he would contest the assembly elections from the Taraiya seat. He stated that the party was formulating its election strategy for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections under the leadership of state president Rakesh Yadav. He appealed to the public to extend their support to AAP candidates in the coming elections.

Wheat procurement highest in last three years yet below target, says Centre
NEW DELHI: At the end of the current wheat procurement season, the government has procured over 296 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) of wheat, which is quite higher than in the past three years. However, the procurement is still far below the target of 332 LMT. Last year, the final wheat procurement was 266 LMT. Like previous years, Punjab contributed the most to the stock, followed by Madhya Pradesh and Haryana to the central pool. Punjab contributed 119.3 LMT, whereas MP contributed 77.7 LMT and Haryana (71.4 LMT). (see table) We believe that our final wheat procurement will be between 295-300 LMT this season, said Sanjeev Chopra, Secretary, Ministry of Food and Public Distribution. Procurement is going on in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, which will add to the stock, he adds. Increased procurement of wheat and a six-year low in food inflation have put the government in a comfortable position. Contributions from UP, Bihar, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, and Kashmir were below expectations. .modern-table { border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; max-width: 800px; margin: 2rem auto; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; border-radius: 10px; overflow: hidden; box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .modern-table caption { background: linear-gradient(90deg, #4CAF50, #2196F3); color: white; font-size: 1.5rem; padding: 1rem; font-weight: bold; text-align: center; } .modern-table thead th { background-color: #e3f2fd; color: #0d47a1; text-align: left; padding: 15px; font-size: 1rem; border-bottom: 2px solid #bbdefb; } .modern-table tbody td { padding: 14px 15px; font-size: 0.95rem; color: #333; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; } .modern-table tbody tr:nth-child(even) { background-color: #f9f9f9; } .modern-table tbody tr:nth-child(odd) { background-color: #ffffff; } .modern-table tbody tr:hover { background-color: #e8f5e9; transition: background-color 0.3s; } Wheat Procurement during Rabi Marketing Season 2025-26 State Target of Procurement (LMT) Progressive Procurement 2025-26 (LMT) Progressive Procurement 2024-25 (LMT) Punjab 124 119.32 123.48 Madhya Pradesh 80 77.75 47.30 Haryana 75 71.40 71.39 Rajasthan 20 17.52 9.43 Uttar Pradesh 30 10.10 8.96 Bihar 2 0.17 0.09 Uttar Pradesh is the highest wheat producer in the country, but one of the lowest contributors to the central pool. This year, the UP government made a procurement target of 30 LMT but has contributed only around 10 LMT so far. Further, Bihar contributed only 17.4 thousand MT against the target of 2 LMT. Given the higher wheat procurement this year, the government is reluctant to open the export. Once our target is achieved, we will discuss with the commerce ministry whether to allow exports, said Prahalad Joshi, Union Minister of State for Food and Public Distribution, when TNIE asked. Further, he stated that there is no restriction on the export of rice. Besides, the central government has launched the Depot Darpan portal and mobile app to track food storage depots across India, which follow high standards of safety, quality, and performance. The Food Corporation of India planned to spend Rs 1000 crore and the Central Warehouse Corporation Rs 280 crore on modernising depots, such as maintaining temperatures and ventilation.

Indias 76 per cent population is at high risk of extreme heat, says study
NEW DELHI: In India, 57 per cent of districts, which are home to 76 per cent of the population, are at very high risk of extreme heat. This heat-affected population is experiencing alarmingly warm nights, increasing relative humidity, and heat island effects in densely populated urban areas. A study conducted by the Delhi-based research organisation Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) analysed that traditionally drier northern Indian cities are experiencing higher levels of humidity and warmer nights, impacting the health of a large population. The study How Extreme Heat is Impacting India: Assessing District-level Heat Risk has mapped heat risk assessments of 734 districts in India using 35 indicators. It provides detailed insight into how climate change has influenced heat hazard trends from 1982 to 2022. It has used indicators including hazard, exposure, and vulnerability. In addition, it has analysed night-time heat and relative humidity to measure how climate change has altered the frequency, intensity, and duration of heat hazards in the past four decades. According to the study, 417 districts fell into the high and very high risk categories of extreme heat, while 201 were classified as moderate risk categories. Meanwhile, the remaining 116 districts are relatively less exposed to extreme heat. The study highlights key trends, such as the rise in warm nights across the country, the increase in relative humidity across North India, particularly in the Indo-Gangetic Plain, and heightened heat exposure in dense, urban, and economically critical districts such as Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bhopal, and Bhubaneswar. Further, some rural districts in Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, and Biharhome to large numbers of agricultural outdoor workerswere also found to fall in the high to very high heat risk category. Further, the study analysed that 70 per cent of districts have seen more than five additional very warm nights per summer over the past decade (2012-2022) compared to the climatic baseline (1982-2011). Very warm nights are defined as nights when the temperature stays unusually high, warmer than what used to be normal 95 per cent of the time. Warmer nights make it harder for the human body to cool down and recover from daytime heat. The study also finds increased relative humidity by up to 10% across the Indo-Gangetic Plains over the last decade. Historically, North India experienced 30-40% humidity, which increased to 40-50%. It further underlines that traditionally drier cities such as Delhi, Chandigarh, Kanpur, Jaipur, and Varanasi now see higher humidity levels. Sweating is the primary cooling mechanism when body temperature exceeds 37C, but high humidity hinders evaporation. Heat stress is no longer a future threatits a present reality, said Dr Arunabh Ghose, CEO, CEEW. We are entering an era of intense, prolonged heat, rising humidity, and dangerously warm nights, he said.

PM Modi sending delegations to divert attention from tough questions: Jairam Ramesh
NEW DELHI: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has suddenly decided to send multi-party delegations of MPs to foreign countries in an attempt to divert attention from mounting criticism and questions about his leadership. The Congress leader claimed that the move comes at a time when the prime minister's global image has taken a hit. In a social media post marking the 34th death anniversary of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, Ramesh said that the practice of sending MPs from various parties to the United Nations in New York every October-November had been in place since the 1950s. However, he noted that this tradition was halted after Modi took office in 2014. Since the 1950s, MPs from various political parties would be sent in delegations to the UN in New York every Oct-Nov. Mr. Narendra Modi stopped this tradition from 2014. But now that he is desperate and his image globally has been shattered, he suddenly thought of such all-party pic.twitter.com/KvprcQth2r Jairam Ramesh (@Jairam_Ramesh) May 21, 2025 Now, desperate and facing serious questions, with his image globally shattered, Mr. Modi has suddenly revived the idea of all-party MP delegations abroad to deflect attention, Ramesh wrote. Paying tribute to Rajiv Gandhi, Ramesh said what he described as Gandhis humanity, goodness, and decency raits he claimed were missing in the current prime minister. He also shared a video of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee recalling how Rajiv Gandhi ensured Vajpayee was included in a UN delegation so he could receive medical treatment overseas at government expense, despite being a political rival. Earlier this week, Congress had taken a swipe at Prime Minister Modi with Ramesh saying the same prime minister who had abused the Congress publicly in countries such as Australia, the US, South Korea and China, was taking the help of the opposition party in these delegations.

Worrying signs for Odisha as sex ratio slips to 933
BHUBANESWAR: Prohibition of sex determination and strict enforcement notwithstanding, the sex ratio at birth in Odisha has recorded a worrying decline over the past decade. As per the Civil Registration System (CRS) report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs recently, the sex ratio at birth in the state stood at 933 women per 1,000 men in 2021. The ratio has significantly dropped from 979 recorded during 2011-12. Odisha is among the bottom-10 states with low sex ratio. The lowest 863 was recorded in Assam, 905 in Rajasthan, 908 in Bihar, 909 in Gujarat, 910 in Maharashtra, 911 in Haryana and 922 in Telangana. The highest sex ratio at birth has been reported by Arunachal Pradesh (997) followed by Uttar Pradesh (995), Uttarakhand (975), Manipur (974), and Kerala (967). Surprisingly, the sex ratio in Odisha had dropped from 979 in 2011 to 930 in 2017 and then went up to 947 in 2019 before falling again to 933. The data is considered more authentic as it is based on registered births worked out after deducting the respective time delay in birth registration of more than one year. The latest data has highlighted growing gender disparities in the state, despite several government interventions aimed at promoting girl child welfare and curbing sex-selective practices. Experts attributed the sharp decline to a combination of deep-rooted patriarchal norms, single child norm and preference for sons. Senior gynaecologist Dr GSS Mohapatra said sons continue to be seen as bearers of the family legacy and financial security for ageing parents, while daughters are often perceived as an economic burden in many communities across Odisha. Many are choosing to not go for a second child if the first one is a son, he said. Female foeticide has come down drastically after the implementation of pre-conception and pre-natal diagnostic techniques (PCPNDT) Act. But the mindset of people has not changed. People still ask us if there is any specific way or drug to have a male child. Continued awareness and education can only prevent this, he said. Although the PCPNDT Act prohibits sex determination, some field-level health workers said, enforcement remains patchy. They pointed out that discrimination in access to nutrition and healthcare further aggravates the gender imbalance. Girl children in some areas suffer from higher rates of malnutrition and infant mortality. Authorities also admitted that regulatory mechanisms require strengthening to effectively tackle these violations. Director of family welfare Dr Sanjukta Sahoo said there is a decline in the total number of births also. The decline is due to adoption of one child norm by parents. The state government is addressing it by creating awareness regarding the importance of a girl child. Frequent inspections are being carried out at diagnostic centres and hospitals to prevent sex determination and selection. Collectors also have been put on alert, she added. Recently, CM Mohan Charan Majhi had expressed concern over the declining sex ratio in the state. He had assured that efforts would be made towards increasing access to quality education and economic opportunities for girls to empower them and reduce the preference for sons. ALARMING TREND The ratio has significantly dropped from 979 recorded during 2011-12 Odisha is among the bottom-10 states with low sex ratio The sex ratio in Odisha had dropped from 979 in 2011 to 930 in 2017 and then went up to 947 in 2019 before falling again to 933

Kharge slams PM, says failed to prevent Pahalgam terror attack
HOSAPETE: Going on the offensive against the Centre from his home base, AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge has alleged a major security lapse behind the recent Pahalgam terror attack. Speaking at the Samarpane Sankalpa rally held on Tuesday to mark the second anniversary of the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government in Karnataka, Kharge claimed that 26 innocent lives could have been saved if the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Union Government had ensured proper security through local police, the Border Security Force, or the Army. Kharge reiterated his earlier statement that Prime Minister Modi had cancelled his planned visit to Jammu and Kashmir on April 17, after receiving intelligence inputs. He questioned why similar warnings were not communicated to tourists, which, he said, could have prevented the tragic loss of life. The Congress president also played down the recent skirmishes between India and Pakistan by calling it chut-put. Kharge said Pakistan is a weak country and has no strength of its own. Pakistan used China-made arms and ammunition to attack India, but failed miserably. Its efforts to disturb the unity of the country also did not succeed, he said. Criticising the Centre for allegedly politicising the issue of sending all-party delegations abroad to explain Indias position following the attack, Kharge said that the Congress supported the initiative in the national interest, not for political gain. For the Congress, the country comes first. But for the BJP, Modi comes first, and the country later, he claimed during his address in the rally. Kharge also accused the PM of neglecting national responsibility by skipping an all-party meeting on the terror attack to attend an election rally in Bihar. If Opposition leaders miss a meeting, the BJP leaders brand them anti-national. Modi should realise that the nation cannot progress through speeches alone, he added. Taking aim at Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah for his controversial comment on Colonel Sofiya Qureshi, Kharge demanded that the prime minister act against anti-national elements within his own party. Despite nationwide outrage over the ministers insensitive remarks, the BJP has neither sought his resignation nor taken any disciplinary action, Kharge said. Later in the day, Kharge wrote on X, taking apart Modis foreign policy. In the last 11 years, Prime Minister Modi has made 151 foreign trips and visited 72 countries. Out of these, he has visited the US 10 times. Yet, our country stands alone under the Modi governments foreign policy. Is it the Prime Ministers job to visit foreign countries and only pose for photos? The IMF has provided a bailout loan of $1.4 billion to Pakistan. But nobody supported Indias stance. Kharge also questioned the timing of the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. A ceasefire was suddenly declared, while our brave Armed Forces were conducting operations against terrorists. The US President has insulted our country by saying, I brokered the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, and repeated this, not less than 7 times, he wrote in the post on X. He added that while the entire country was united in the tough action against terrorists, Modi is trying to cover up the issue by not providing clarity to the people of the country regarding US President Donald Trumps statements, so far.
Posters raise political temperature, project Chirag as next Bihar CM
PATNA: A day after LJP (RV) supremo and Union minister Chirag Paswan met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and stated that there was no vacancy for CM post in Bihar, on Tuesday, his party leaders put up posters in Patna, seemingly projecting Chirag as the next chief minister. Erected along the roadsides at various places of the state capital, the poster features a meeting of Chirag and Nitish. It states, We have developed Bihar by facing storms, now our future is in your hands. It adds, Uncle (Nitish) has full faith in this nephew (Chirag), both the face and character of Bihar will change, we met and got blessings. The posters have cropped up at a time when the young leader has already expressed his keenness to do politics in Bihar by declaring that Bihar is calling him. Chirag contested the last Lok Sabha election as an NDA ally and won all five seats his party contested. Although senior BJP leader and DyCM Samrat Choudhary has clarified that the NDA will contest Bihar polls under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, these things will keep happening until Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah or BJP president J P Nadda do not unambiguously endorse statements of their junior party colleagues on Nitish, commented a BJP leader. Chirag ready to accept new role in Bihar, says MP On Monday, Chirag met with Nitish. He was also accompanied by his brother-in-law and MP from Jamui Arun Bharati. LJP (RV) is demanding more than 40 seats in the assembly election and the poster is seen as a ploy to create pressure on BJP and also JD (U) to concede its demand. In the last assembly election, Hindustani Awam Morch (HAM) of former chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi was given seven seats from JD (U)s share of 122 seats while BJP gave 11 seats to Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) from its share of 121 seats. Our future in your hands Erected along the roadsides at various places of the state capital, the poster features a meeting of Chirag and Nitish. It states, We have developed Bihar by facing storms, now our future is in your hands.

Rats bite patient at Bihar government hospital, sparks outrage
The incident has triggered political backlash
NEW DELHI: Protesting against the crude infrastructure and lack of basic amenities, students of the inaugural batch of the Film and Television Institute (FTI) in Arunachal Pradesh have been boycotting classes and any kind of academic activity since May 15. Presently attached to the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SFRTI) in Kolkata, which falls under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, it is set to become Indias third FTI in the future. The Institute is located in Jollang-Rakap, 24 kms away from the capital Itanagar. This is the second major protest this month. We decided to halt all academic activity since May 15. This is to demand urgent action to restore dignity, safety and basic infrastructure, they said in a joint statement. TNIE interacted with the protesting students, who were angered by the administration's inaction. They have paid Rs 1,20,000 for the first semester. A few have even resigned from jobs to pursue their passion for films. A total of 45 students are pursuing these 2-year Diploma courses - Screen Acting, Documentary Cinema and Screen Writing here. Five students belong to Arunachal Pradesh while the rest are from Delhi, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Hyderabad and Maharashtra. Students requested anonymity fearing punitive action from the Institute in future for voicing out. Meant to begin their academic year in August 2024, the students received mails in February this year asking them to join on March 6. A student said, The biggest issue is we do not have access to clean drinking water as the water we consume is muddied. Students frequently fall ill. Just last week, an emergency vehicle here had to rush one of the students to a hospital in Itanagar, 23 kms away. The institute arranged water cans but they would get exhausted and we would again have to boil the muddy water and drink. A woman student said the frequent power cuts upset her the most. A week ago, we did not have power supply throughout nights. The phones could not be charged too and there are network issues. Our parents get really worried. A few girl students abandoned the course on safety grounds as security personnel cannot be spotted after 3 am and outside vehicles enter the campus, she said. Classes are held in unfinished buildings, said another student. A library with a makeshift class room is used. This is a visual medium and we need proper screening and editing rooms, not mere laptops. The faculty is good though. The name FTI is regarded highly and the one in Pune is world class. We feel cheated trusting the brand. There are no proper roads or footpaths on the hilly terrain to take us inside, said another student. We have not even been provided student ID cards and will be completing three months here, he said. TNIE spoke to those in-charge of managing the FTI. We agree there are problems and are doing our best to redress it. Uninterrupted power is now being ensured through DG sets during outages. We have requested the State electricity department to install a dedicated feeder line here, he said. Another official said, The construction work is being done by the Central Public Works Department and there have been delays from their side due to local problems. A total of 10 out of 21 buildings have been handed over so far and the rest would be done in phases. Around 30 security personnel are being provided round-the-clock, he claimed. The process of finalising the Institutes official name and logo is under way and ID cards will be issued soon, the official added. Asked why students were taken on board without facilities in place, another official said, The students had already got the admission. We did not want one academic year to go waste for them and did it for their sake only.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will not play their final home fixture of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium after all. The IPL has officially relocated Match No. 65RCB vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), which was originally scheduled for Friday (May 23) in Bengaluruto the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The decision comes after an urgent meeting between BCCI and IPL officials on Tuesday, prompted by a yellow alert issued by the Indian Meteorological Department predicting heavy to very heavy rainfall in Bengaluru until Thursday. IANS had earlier reported the likely change, which now means RCB will play both their remaining league matches in Lucknow -- against SRH on May 23 and against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on May 27. The move comes after RCBs previous fixture against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) was washed out without a ball being bowled due to relentless rain. Since then, thunderstorms and widespread waterlogging have gripped the city, leaving no room for another high-profile fixture to be risked under similar conditions. On Tuesday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also issued a formal statement confirming the full playoff schedule for IPL 2025 and finalised the two venues for the four key games. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule for the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 Playoffs on Tuesday.

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the second qualifier on June 1 and the final on June 3. The IPL final was originally scheduled for May 25, but the tournament was paused for a week between May 9 and May 17 due to rising geopolitical tensions between India and Pakistan. This forced the BCCI to rejig the entire playoff calendar and venue allocation. Hyderabad and Kolkata were initially set to host the four playoff matches, but the combination of weather risks and rescheduling due to the temporary suspension forced the IPL Governing Council to opt for new venues. Similar to the playoffs stage, an additional one hour will be allocated to the playing conditions for the remaining matches of the league stage, starting Tuesday (May 20), the IPL further confirmed in its statement. This clause13.7.3 of the IPL playing conditionsextends the total waiting time for a match to be completed from 60 minutes to 120 minutes. This move is aimed at maximising the chances of getting a result in weather-affected matches as the league enters its crucial final week.

CHANDIGARH: Around 50 people from various parts of Punjab are under the police scanner as their antecedents are being verified for suspected links to the arrested individuals. Meanwhile, two more individuals from Gurdaspur have been arrested by Punjab Police for allegedly engaging in espionage for Pakistan, bringing the total number of arrests in the past three weeks to eight. Sources revealed that the two individuals, Sukhpreet Singh of Adiyan village and Karanbir Singh of Chandu Wadala, were arrested from Gurdaspur. Police recovered three mobile phones and eight live cartridges of .30 bore from their possession. Preliminary investigations confirmed both the accused were in direct contact with operatives of Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and had transmitted sensitive information concerning the Indian Armed Forces. A police official, on condition of anonymity, stated that these 50 individuals currently under scrutiny have not been detained. Most of these individuals who have been questioned had claimed innocence about the secret work of the alleged spies but would only get a clean chit after thorough verification, said a source. The police have launched technical and human intelligence investigations to assess the nature of these individuals associations with the arrested suspects. All these individuals who were in contact with the people allegedly involved in espionage are being verified to dig deep into their activities, the source added. NIA, IB grill YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra for spying for Pakistan; travel details, transactions under scanner Earlier, on May 11, the Punjab Police had arrested a 31-year-old woman, Guzala, and her associate Yameen Mohammad from Malerkotla for allegedly aiding a Pakistani official posted at the High Commission in Delhi. Police said the two were part of a broader espionage network operating in the region. According to officials, Guzala had met Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish at the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi and became his informant, allegedly sharing details about army activities in exchange for money. Danish instructed Yameen, a passport and visa agent, to transfer funds to Guzala. She reportedly received 10,000 from Yameen and 20,000 directly from Danish. On May 12, Neeraj Kumar, a 28-year-old salesman from Pathankot, was arrested for allegedly issuing SIM cards to unauthorised individuals using fraudulent documentation. The case came to light after Mohit Kumar of Shahpurkandi filed a complaint stating that he had purchased a SIM card from Neeraj in 2020, but later discovered that another SIM had been issued on his documents without his consent. During investigation, it was revealed that the unauthorised SIM card had been active in Pakistan before being deactivated. On May 13, Raqeeb Khan from Roorkee in Uttarakhand, who had been working as a tailor in a shop inside Bathinda Cantonment for the past two years, was arrested for allegedly spying for the neighbouring country. Cantonment officials grew suspicious of his activities and reported him to the police. His phone has been seized and sent for forensic examination. He lived within the shop premises inside the cantonment area. Odisha police question YouTuber Priyanka Senapati over links with spy Jyoti Malhotra During interrogation, Raqeeb reportedly said that he had received calls and voice messages from Pakistani numbers in January this year but claimed he did not engage with them. He also admitted to possessing military documents left behind by Army personnel at his shop. Officials disclosed that Raqeeb was the second civilian linked to espionage from that location, the first being Sunil Kumar, a cobbler and native of Samastipur, Bihar. He was arrested on April 29. Kumar had been working at the Bathinda Cantonment since 2017 and had lived in Dhobiana Basti for over a decade. His brother and uncle are also cobblers in the same area. Kumars bank statement and property details are being analysed, and his mobile phone has also been sent for forensic analysis. The report is awaited, said a police official. On May 3, two men, Palak Sher Masih and Suraj Masih, were arrested in Amritsar for allegedly photographing and sharing sensitive details of army cantonments and airbases. They were allegedly in contact with ISI through Harpreet Singh alias Pittu alias Happy, an inmate at Amritsar Central Jail. Police believe the duo had direct links with Pakistani intelligence operatives. Sources confirmed that all of the arrested individuals were allegedly in constant contact with the ISI and passed information to the enemy, including details about troop movements and key strategic locations in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu and Kashmir.
BENGALURU: Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the April 22 terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, could have been avoided had the PM issued a warning based on intelligence inputs. Speaking at a convention in Hosapete, Vijayanagara district, to mark two years of the Congress government in Karnataka, Kharge accused the Centre of security lapses. He claimed Modi cancelled his own Kashmir visit scheduled for 17 April after intelligence alerts, yet no advisory was issued to tourists. Why were those tourists not given police or military protection? Why were they not alerted? Had they been cautioned, 26 innocent lives could have been saved, he said. Kharge further criticised Modi for skipping the all-party meeting held in the aftermath of the attack. When the nation needed unity, Modi chose electioneering in Bihar over national interest. Twice he called an all-party meeting but did not attend. Had we skipped it, we wouldve been labelled anti-national, yet he avoids it and remains a patriot, he remarked. He accused the BJP of monopolising patriotism and said, Congress has also fought for the nation. You have not taken a contract for nationalism. True patriotism lies in unity, not in hollow speeches. Kharge also demanded the dismissal of Madhya Pradesh BJP minister Vijay Shah for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi. He insulted her because of her name. Remove such people from the cabinet first before preaching nationalism, he urged. SC caste census Addressing Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, Kharge raised concerns over non-SC individuals being registered as 'Beda Jangama' in the ongoing SC caste census. Let poor Lingayats receive welfare benefits, but they must not be included in the SC category unfairly. The population of Beda Jangama, historically around 500, is now shown as 5 lakh how is that possible? Such false claims deprive genuine SCs of their rights. Jail those issuing fake SC certificates, he insisted. Kharge also advised Siddaramaiah to ensure proper implementation of the Socio-Economic and Educational Survey (SES-2015), warning against any missteps that could harm the credibility of the caste census movement championed by Rahul Gandhi. Rahul worked hard to push for caste census inclusion at the national level. Dont let Karnatakas mismanagement bring disrepute, he said.

Education in mother tongue must till Class 8: Education minister Pradhan
NEW DELHI: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday noted that it is important to take steps to impart education in students' mother tongues till Class VIII at least to make India the world's No. 1 economy Pradhan was speaking at an event launching 13 primers in Indian languages developed by Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) and National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), special modules developed by NCERT as well as the Bharatiya Bhasha Summer Camp in New Delhi. At the event, Pradhan lauded Jiya Kumari from Bihar for scoring 93 marks in Tamil language in 10th boards exam for which the results were released recently. It is an eye-opener for those who try to divide the country on the basis of language, he said. The Minister also called upon educationists for creating Artificial Intelligence (AI)-embedded textbooks. We dont need incremental reforms but an exponential jump. Hence, it is important to integrate AI and Machine Learning techniques in Indian languages so that they serve as a force multiplier. Department of School Education and Literacy Secretary in the Education ministry, Sanjay Kumar, also stressed that it would be ideal if education is imparted in the mother tongue as language is woven with our identity.

Would have expelled Vijay Shah for life had he been in my party: LJP(RV) chief Chirag Paswan
PATNA: Assailing Madhya Pradesh minister Vijay Shah for his remarks against Colonel Sofiya Qureshi , Union minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan here on Monday said that had Shah been in his party, he would have expelled him for life. In response to a media query, Chirag said that the entire nation is proud of the Indian Army for their successful implementation of Operation Sindoor after the terror attack on tourists at Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. Had such a person (Shah) been in my party, he would have been expelled for life for his such a demeaning remark against the Army officer, he asserted. Chirags LJP(RV) is an ally of BJP led NDA both in the state and at the Centre. Minister Shah stirred up a controversy after he called Colonel Sofiya, who briefed the media about the Operation Sindoor against the terrorists, as sister of terrorists. SC rejects MP minister Vijay Shah's apology on Col Sofiya Qureshi, orders SIT probe The Hajipur MP said that the entire nation felt ashamed of Shah's remarks on Operation Sindoor. On the other hand, the Supreme Court has taken a strong exception of Shahs statement. However, BJP is yet to take any disciplinary action against the party leader. Chirag called on Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar at 1 Anne Marg residence to discuss development of the state ahead of assembly elections. Talking to media persons on the sidelines of inauguration of two-day International Buyer Seller Meet, Chirag said that there is no vacancy for chief ministers post in Bihar as incumbent CM Nitish Kumar will lead the NDA even after the 2025 assembly elections. Assembly elections in the state are slated to be held in October-November.

IPL 2025: Marsh, Markram Hit Fifties As LSG Scamper To 205/7 Against SRH
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Mitchell Marsh (65) and Aiden Markram (61) blasted identical 28-ball half-centuries and Nicholas Pooran hammered a 26-ball 45 as Lucknow Super Giants posted 205/7 in 20 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 61 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Ekana Stadium here on Monday. With this being a must-win match for the home side, as they try to ace a three-team race for the final playoff spot, LSG got off to a blazing start but lost the momentum a bit and finished with only the second 200-plus total at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. Asked to bat first, Lucknow Super Giants made a superb start in this must-win match as they stormed to 69 for no loss in the Power-play as the M&M (Marsh and Markram) Show continued to make merry. Openers Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram put on another superb show at the top of the order as both reached their half-century in 28 balls. They raised 115 runs for the opening wicket, feasting on the bowling, on a pitch that did not offer much, and were also helped by some sloppy work by SRH in the field. Both Marsh and Markram were lucky as they survived a chance early in their innings against debutant left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey, who showed nerves of steel despite being asked to bowl in the Power-play in his first match. The 22-year-old Dubey nearly struck off his first delivery in IPL as Marsh bottom-edged behind a tossed-up delivery outside off, but Ishan Kishan failed to get down in time and the ball went through his legs. It was difficult, but a chance nevertheless. Markram would have been out on the first ball of the fourth over, when he lost his footing attempting to flick a fullish delivery down the leg-side. Kishan was the culprit again as he failed to collect the ball cleanly for stumping. Marsh capitalised on that and stormed to his half-century, hitting Pat Cummins for a four and six in the first over. The Aussie batter struck Dubey for a four and hammered a six each off Harshal Patel and Eshan Malinga. Patel was despatched for boundaries off successive deliveries, the first one an edge that Kishan failed to latch on to again. Harsh Dubey had the last laugh as he got his maiden IPL wicket when he got a ball pitched around off to spin away, and Marsh slices it to Malinga at short third. March ended up with 65 off 39 balls, hitting six boundaries and four maximums. Markram reached his fifth half-century of IPL 2025 with a single, hitting four boundaries and three maximums. He was dropped by Aniket Verma off Zeeshan Ansari but struck some good shots. Among them was a huge six off Dubey over the sight-screen in the 11th over and a similar one against Ansari in the seventh over, smoking a slightly short one over long-on. After surviving the stumping chance, Markram hammered Dubey for a six and four off successive balls. He eventually fell for 61 off 38 balls, castled by a slow one by Harshal Patel. He was Patel's 150th wicket in the IPL. In between, skipper Rishabh Pant (7) added another failure to his tally for the season, as did Ayush Badoni (3), as SRH pulled things back a bit. From 118 for 1 in 11 overs, LSG scored 50 for 2 in their next six overs to be 168/3 in 17 overs. Nicholas Pooran struck a couple of fours in a lengthy over with two wides and a waist-high no-ball for 15 runs in the 19th over. In the final over bowled by Nitish Reddy, Pooran struck a six off the first legal delivery but found himself at the non-striker's end as he could manage only one run. He was out on the next ball attempting a single with the ball in the wicketkeeper's hand. Ishan Kishan made no mistake and hit the stumps to end Pooran's innings. Pooran scored 45 off 26 balls, hitting six fours and a lone six. Shardul Thakur (4) struck a four with a scoop on the legside but was run out attempting a single, and Abdul Samad (3) followed suit, inside-edging through his legs onto his off-stump. Akash Deep blasted the final delivery for a six to take them past the 200-run mark as LSG lost three wickets in the final over. SRH also made hash of the last two overs, adding six extras to the last 12 balls. Eshan Malinga was their best bowler with 2-28. Brief scores: SRH also made hash of the last two overs, adding six extras to the last 12 balls. Eshan Malinga was their best bowler with 2-28. Also Read: LIVE Cricket Score Article Source: IANS
